Chapter 2: Convert Remaining True Attribute Points into Golden Skill Points at a 3:1 Ratio
...
No need to deliberate. Su Xiao selected the [Reincarnation · World Badge]. Previously, to obtain more [Supreme Potential Points], he had sold all his sellable stock and even submitted several pieces of equipment he was currently using. He was now in urgent need of Soul Coins to purchase three pieces of Overlord Equipment and fully activate the effects of [Overlord's Might].
The next world progression would pit him against the Abyss Descendants. Increasing the attack power of the Dragon-Slaying Flash by 50% was a massive boost.
He stored the [Reincarnation · World Badge] in the team storage space and left a message for Beini, asking her to sell this item at the Great Gathering Place. It was roughly equivalent to the True Attribute Point gains from one world progression at the Absolute Strength rank, and that was with a high world evaluation. He estimated it could sell for 1 to 1.3 million Soul Coins. If someone was willing to buy, and if they were in urgent need of True Attribute Points, it could even go for 1.5 million.
Sitting cross-legged inside the Attribute Enhancement Pod, Su Xiao took out a portion of [Power Source Matter]. When he was at the Absolute Strength rank, the [Power Source Matter] he obtained was only the size of a pinky finger, and the dark gold source matter inside was semi-transparent.
Now, the container for [Power Source Matter] was as thick as an egg, about 20 centimeters long. The source matter inside was a deep, dark gold, dotted with specks of golden light, like the stars of the Star Realm.
Unfortunately, the effect of the Law-Destruction System ability, Perfect Physique, had failed. However, this ability had already provided Su Xiao with a massive boost to his physical attributes. He just wondered how this type of physique ability would be handled later. Would he have to remove it using the Awakening Stele?
It wasn't just the [Perfect Physique] ability; one of the core characteristics of [Spirit Shadow Constitution] had also failed.
"[Spirit Shadow Constitution: Mana Value and the body have produced a wonderful resonance. Mana Value and Health Points form a good cycle. Health Points are greatly enhanced, the increase amount being 100% of the total Mana Value.]"
The successive failure of two physique-type abilities made Su Xiao suspect that the [Awakening Stele] still had abilities that hadn't been activated. Given the Ancestral Law Destroyers' obsessive-compulsive perfectionism regarding ability systems, how could they allow two physique-type abilities to fail one after another upon promotion to Supreme?
This wasn't just Su Xiao's speculation. Mainly, the large missing piece of the [Awakening Stele] had previously made him suspect whether this Law-Destruction Faction treasure was missing some function. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to notarize the [Awakening Stele]. It seemed he would need to find a powerful Divination System user later to divine where the missing piece of the [Awakening Stele] was.
Su Xiao opened the sealed container of [Power Source Matter] and activated the Attribute Enhancement Pod. After a brief silence, the Attribute Enhancement Pod he was in began to roar. A blood-red ф mark appeared on the metal pod wall in front of him.
This made Su Xiao wonder if using [Power Source Matter] to enhance physical attributes at the Supreme level was the core function of the Attribute Enhancement Pod.
Su Xiao felt the cells throughout his body reach a near-boiling point with the pod's operation. If he had used the pod's free anesthesia function from the First Rank to the Absolute Strength rank, he would be paying a huge price now.
Indeed, the free things are the most expensive. This feeling of cells boiling and roaring caused white hot steam to rise from Su Xiao's seated body. This feeling of a super-magnitude increase was completely different from using True Attribute Points. In comparison, True Attribute Points were gentle to the extreme.
First, the origin of [Power Source Matter]: each high-level world could condense some Power Source Matter, and [Power Source Matter] was a non-renewable resource that was consumed upon use.
This analogy was a bit wonderful. Simply put, for example, a world at the Absolute Strength tier could produce 5 large portions of [Power Source Matter]. Once these 5 large portions were obtained and absorbed, that world would no longer produce [Power Source Matter].
Unless one of the powerful beings who absorbed those 5 portions died, causing the cause and effect of that portion of [Power Source Matter] to dissipate, then that Absolute Strength tier world would condense another portion of [Power Source Matter].
After absorbing one portion of [Power Source Matter], Su Xiao understood the preferential treatment the Paradise camp gave to Contractors. Attribute Points were the greatest welfare—risk-free to use, with a stable acquisition method.
After promotion to Supreme, this protection and welfare no longer existed. However, using [Power Source Matter] inside the Attribute Enhancement Pod also had many benefits. Firstly, the pod would filter the [Power Source Matter] about to be used.
Since [Power Source Matter] was produced by various high-level worlds, it would inevitably carry the characteristics of those worlds. Some [Power Source Matter] contained madness, some contained evil thoughts, and some contained even more terrifying things. This also meant that some myriad realms Supreme Strong who were content with the status quo would not absorb the [Power Source Matter] they obtained.
Besides filtering [Power Source Matter], the Attribute Enhancement Pod would also purify it, provide Su Xiao with the most suitable absorption environment, and mobilize his cell activity, making his body cells very active to achieve the deepest absorption of [Power Source Matter], preventing any hidden dangers from the absorption.
The many auxiliary functions of the Attribute Enhancement Pod made Su Xiao feel that this couldn't possibly be free. This reminded him of the rewards given by Reincarnation Paradise for winning the previous Paradise War, which totaled:
Golden Skill Points × 30 points.
Supreme Promotion Certificate × 1 portion.
Reincarnation Badges × 50 pieces.
Permanent Free Usage Right of the Attribute Enhancement Pod.
Su Xiao had previously overlooked this last item. The reason was that since the Seventh Rank, he had been using the Attribute Enhancement Pod for free. Now it seemed that among the gains from this Paradise War, the [Permanent Free Usage Right of the Attribute Enhancement Pod] might be ranked second, with the [Supreme Promotion Certificate] being first.
Checking the usage fee for the Attribute Enhancement Pod to absorb one portion of [Power Source Matter], Su Xiao got a price of 2 million Soul Coins + 50 Primordial Fragments + 5000 ounces of Space-Time Power.
He could only say that the trip to the Dawn Ruins, though dangerous, was a huge profit.
After the enhancement ended, Su Xiao didn't get up immediately. He sat cross-legged and meditated for a moment. Opening his eyes, he exhaled a white breath tinged with a faint dark gold color. This was the impurities expelled by the Attribute Enhancement Pod's auxiliary function after the enhancement. Don't underestimate this simple process; over time, it could accumulate into a big problem. He checked his information.
Contractor No. 13013. (This is a false number, unlocatable by any means.)
Name: Su Xiao (Hunter)
Level: LV.95 (Supreme).
Health Points: 100%.
Mana Points: 426760/426760 points.
True Strength: 1056 points.
True Agility: 1056 points.
True Stamina: 1056 points.
True Intelligence: 1056 points.
True Charm: -32 points.
True Luck: 8 points.
Soul Strength: 1500 points.
Abyss Resistance: 158 points.
...
Previously, when his physical attributes exceeded 900 points, Su Xiao didn't feel it particularly strongly. Now that all four main attributes had broken 1000, a surging sense of power made him feel like he could go solo the Underworld God. However, this was just an illusion. The Underworld God was a Supreme Peak, one of the most powerful beings in the Star Realm.
He took out [Origin Stone · World]. This Origin Stone had turned a translucent blue and was in a pending activation state. He activated it. The Origin Stone became magnificent, but its color tendency had shifted from the original pitch black to the blue of the Law-Destruction Shadow, signifying that this strongest Origin Stone was gradually recognizing Su Xiao. He also felt his Mana Point upper limit suddenly increase by a notch. He checked the newly activated attributes of the Origin Stone.
"[Origin Stone · World · Equipment Effect 3: Enthronement (Passive), permanently increases [Supreme Passive · Skill Slot] by +2. The current level and upper limit level of Supreme Passives are both increased by Lv.20."
Truly the strongest Origin Stone. Su Xiao opened his skill list. He now had three Supreme Passives: [Supreme Strong], [Perfect Block], and [Spirit Source]. Among them, [Supreme Strong] had changed the most.
[Supreme Strong, X (Passive)]
Arcane Power Effect: After absorbing one standard unit of [Power Source Matter] at the Supreme level, current Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence are permanently increased by 10% (increased by 4%).
...
This ability was still X because [Origin Stone · World] not only raised the upper limit but also the current level.
Besides the [Supreme Strong] ability, Su Xiao used a Supreme Seed to upgrade the [Perfect Block] ability to a Supreme Passive. This ability remained X, but its intensity had increased. Now it had been enhanced again, making its intensity even more astonishing.
[Perfect Block: X (Supreme Level · Passive)]
Skill Effect 1: Blade Block (Passive). When you parry with a blade-type weapon, you will invoke the [Protective Energy] brought by your Technique ability, making that parry a [Perfect Block]. Each level of Technique basic ability you master will increase the Block Correction by 3 points. Current Block Correction: 843 points (If the impact force of the enemy's attack does not exceed your own True Strength by 843 points, the block cannot be broken).
Tip: The cooldown for Perfect Block is 10 seconds (already reduced to the minimum cooldown).
Tip: After a successful Perfect Block, the shock damage you receive is reduced by 90%.
Skill Effect 2: Ultimate Perfection (Passive). After a successful Perfect Block, you will only consume 10% of your maximum Protective Energy, and the cooldown of the Perfect Block ability will immediately refresh, becoming instantly usable. After you successfully perform 10 consecutive Perfect Blocks, your Protective Energy will be depleted, causing Perfect Block to enter its cooldown phase.
Tip: The 10-second cooldown of Perfect Block is the time required for you to recover from 0% Protective Energy to 100% Protective Energy.
Warning: If your Perfect Block is broken by an enemy during the block, Perfect Block will enter a 10-second cooldown phase.
Skill Effect 3: Limit Counter (Passive). Each Perfect Block accumulates 1 stack of [Power Surge] status. When this status reaches 10 stacks, it will immediately detonate your power, consuming 20% of your current maximum Health Points. The consumed Health Points are transformed into surging power, causing your next blade melee attack to have double attack intensity.
...
The enhancement of [Perfect Block] gave Su Xiao a bold idea, but he would need to test it later.
[Spirit Source: Lv.21 (Supreme Level · Passive)]
Skill Effect: Increases Mana Points by 105,000 points.
...
The third [Supreme Passive]. He could only say that at the Supreme level, passive abilities were simple yet powerful. Just a 20-level increase raised Su Xiao's Mana Points by 100,000, pushing his Mana Points past 500,000. The vast bodily energy within him made him feel very full.
He still had [Reincarnation Badges] on hand, meaning he could exchange for [Power Source Matter] to further enhance his attributes. But Su Xiao didn't plan to do so. As a Technique Type, an explosive increase in physical power over a short period was not a good thing. He needed sufficiently intense battles to digest and settle the power he had gained.
Walking out of the Attribute Enhancement Pod, the noise of the crowd reached his ears. A burly man walked past Su Xiao and gave him an unfriendly look. Su Xiao's heart was completely unperturbed. This was clearly a newbie Contractor; the newer they were, the more arrogant.
Su Xiao noticed that there had been quite a few more newbie Contractors in Reincarnation Paradise recently. It seemed that winning this Paradise War had allowed for the expansion of quite a few basic facilities, enabling the recruitment of more new Contractors.
When Su Xiao returned to his Exclusive Room, he saw Bubu Wang and Beini playing Gomoku. From the gradually spreading smile on Bubu Wang's dog face, he was probably not far from getting scratched.
Sitting on the sofa, Su Xiao opened the title list and saw the 100 [Spreading Hotbed · Full Title Potential · 99.99% Success Rate] that had been smelted. This had consumed a total of 2430 Hunter Gold Coins.
Su Xiao used one [Spreading Hotbed] title on [Abyssal Shadow]. A few seconds later, the enhancement failed. He tried using multiple [Spreading Hotbed] titles on the [Abyssal Shadow] title simultaneously. The dark red [Spreading Hotbed] attached itself to the [Abyssal Shadow] title.
This made Su Xiao feel that, compared to the characteristics of other titles, [Spreading Hotbed] was more like a peculiar substance. Discovering this, he used all the remaining 90 [Spreading Hotbed] titles. This caused [Abyssal Shadow] to be wrapped in a dark red substance resembling molten slag.
A few minutes later, all the [Spreading Hotbed] turned into sand-like crystal fragments and scattered down, indicating the enhancement had failed.
Su Xiao exchanged for 23,000 [Spreading Hotbed] titles. He tried using multiple [Spreading Hotbed] titles simultaneously for reforging and found it was indeed feasible. He could probably use over 300 at once for reforging. He didn't do that; instead, he reforged them in batches of 23.
When the reforging was complete, a total of 1005 [Full Title Potential · 99.99% Success Rate · Spreading Hotbed] titles were obtained. Based on the maximum number of [Spreading Hotbed] titles that could be reforged at once, Su Xiao estimated that using about 300 [Spreading Hotbed] titles at a time would be optimal. He tried using 300 [Spreading Hotbed] titles on [Abyssal Shadow] simultaneously.
This time, the [Spreading Hotbed] coalesced, looking like golden-red lava, vaguely taking the shape of a heart. Flickering on and off, it was as if a lava heart was beating again and again.
Half an hour later, the [Spreading Hotbed] peeled off from the surface of the [Abyssal Shadow] title. The enhancement had failed again. However, Su Xiao felt he was not far from success. Although it failed, an excessive enhancement of the special title energy had put [Abyssal Shadow] in a very peculiar state.
He used another 300 [Spreading Hotbed] titles to wrap the [Abyssal Shadow] title. Half an hour later, it failed again.
Su Xiao didn't give up. He used another 300 [Spreading Hotbed] titles to wrap the [Abyssal Shadow] title. An hour later, the [Spreading Hotbed] wrapping [Abyssal Shadow] didn't turn into gray-white crystal fragments but began to wither like flesh and blood, eventually turning to ashes and scattering.
[Your [Abyssal Shadow] title has gained a title potential increase. Current title potential: 200%.]
[Yes/No to activate the surplus title potential within this title to complete its transformation.]
Su Xiao didn't choose to do so. He wasn't sure if [Abyssal Shadow] could continue to increase its title potential after this transformation. He used [Spreading Hotbed] again to increase the title potential of [Abyssal Shadow].
Hunter Gold Coins were consumed rapidly. When Su Xiao had consumed a total of 4780 [Full Potential · 99.99% Success Rate · Spreading Hotbed] titles, the potential increase of [Abyssal Shadow] was forcibly stopped.
[Warning: The title potential of the current title has reached 500%. If you choose to continue increasing the title potential, this title has a high probability of being permanently damaged.]
Not to mention how many Nine-Star titles were used to raise [Abyssal Shadow] to [Limit Smelt · Five Times], this was Su Xiao's exclusive title. If it shattered, it wouldn't just be a huge loss; it could mean his death in some future perilous situation.
One could pursue the limit, but one must know when to stop.
[You have stimulated all the title potential of the [Abyssal Shadow] title. This title will undergo a transformation. Estimated time: 18 hours 55 minutes.]
Putting away the [Abyssal Shadow] title, Su Xiao exchanged all the remaining 886,224 Hunter Gold Coins for:
[Title Chest (★★★)]
Use Effect: Upon opening, you can obtain 1 Nine-Star title with specified characteristics.
Stock Quantity: -- pieces (no limit on exchange quantity).
Exchange Price: 300 Hunter Gold Coins.
...
[You obtained Title Chest (★★★) × 2954 pieces.]
[You have obtained Attribute-less Title · Nine-Star × 2954 pieces.]
...
Including what he had saved before, Su Xiao now had a total of 3306 [Attribute-less · Nine-Star Titles]. He activated the highest authority title synthesis and also manifested the Void Tree-notarized Title Smelting Disc, starting the title synthesis. Before long, 5 [Limit Smelt · 1 Time] [Attribute-less Titles] were obtained.
He placed [Peak Work (Limit Smelt · 1 Time)] in the main title slot, and the title enhancement began.
"Bubu."
Su Xiao called out to Bubu Wang, who was about to get beaten up. Bubu Wang trotted over happily and took over the title synthesis and title smelting. This time, the goal was to raise both [Peak Work] and [Old Hunter] titles to [Limit Smelt · 4 Times].
As for impacting [Limit Smelt · 5 Times] from [Limit Smelt · 4 Times], theoretically, it only required 5 [Nine-Star Titles]. The problem was that the success rate was less than 0.00000000000001%.
Su Xiao adopted the method of compensating for insufficient probability with quantity. Title smelting, in the final analysis, was the accumulation of title energy. Since using 5 [Nine-Star Titles] had a success rate so low it was practically zero, what about using 5 [Limit Smelt · 4 Times] Attribute-less Titles? The answer was a 100% success rate!
Correspondingly, for a main title to impact [Limit Smelt · 5 Times] from [Limit Smelt · 4 Times], it required consuming 3125 [Nine-Star Attribute-less Titles], which was a full 937,500 Hunter Gold Coins.
The reason he could obtain so many Hunter Gold Coins this time was that he went to the Violator base camp, conspired with Kaisa, and sent the fourth scene's super-enhanced big boss into the fifth scene as a summoned creature to kill enemies, thereby obtaining the derived kill rewards.
Entering the Alchemy Laboratory, just as he was about to continue developing the potential of [Crimson Secret Medicine], a prompt appeared.
[[Source Container] has completed this enhancement.]
[Source Container]
Origin: Void · Law-Destruction Shadow.
Category: Container (Equip in special equipment slot to take effect).
Durability: 1200/1200 points.
Equipment Requirement: Law-Destruction Shadow, Silver Moon Wolf.
Equipment Effect: Absorption (Core · Passive), can automatically absorb scattered source energy within a 5200-meter radius around itself.
Tip: This effect can be briefly activated. After activation, the absorption range increases by 50 to 60 times. This state lasts for 280 seconds. It can only be activated once per natural day. Multiple activations will cause a significant consumption of this equipment's durability.
Stored Source Energy: 0%.
Storage Limit: 150 Law-Destruction Skill Points.
Tip: When 150 Law-Destruction Skill Points are successfully stored, the [Source Container] will immediately seal itself until all Law-Destruction Skill Points are used.
...
There wasn't much change to [Source Container], just an increase in capacity. But this was the most valuable enhancement, directly related to the growth rate of the core ability, Cyan Steel Shadow Energy.
Before long, Su Xiao became engrossed in the development of [Crimson Secret Medicine]. When he felt something nudging his elbow, he found it was Bubu Wang's dog head, poking through from under his armpit, looking up at him.
"Woof."
"Good work."
"Woof."
Bubu Wang left a bag of ice cream and walked away in a particularly good mood. Although Bubu was sometimes a bit silly, his master's praise always made him especially happy.
Storing the two enhanced titles into the title list, he checked their attributes.
[Old Hunter]
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise
Limit Smelt: Four Times.
Title Potential: 100%.
Category: Rare · Title
Title Effect: Old Hunter (Passive). When killing Violators or Abyss System enemies, you can obtain 1 to 30,000 Hunter Gold Coins (depending on the enemy's comprehensive strength).
Tip: Due to the particularity of this title, you only need to possess this title, not equip it, to activate the [Old Hunter] effect.
Introduction: You are already an experienced Old Hunter, so... enjoy the joy of hunting.
Selling Price: Cannot be sold.
...
It seemed like only the upper limit of the kill reward was increased, but this was the best kind of enhancement. Now he just hoped that the [Old Hunter] title would maintain this state and, when enhanced to [Limit Smelt · 5 Times], wouldn't develop strange branch attributes or gain an extra title ability, which would ruin the title.
This even made Su Xiao hesitate about whether to subsequently enhance the [Old Hunter] title to [Limit Smelt · 5 Times], as it was the main source of titles.
[Peak Work]
Origin: Void Tree
Limit Smelt: Four Times.
Title Potential: 100%.
Category: Rare · Title
Title Effect 1: Peak Skill (Passive). When performing potion concoction, your state can transcend the limit. While maintaining focus, you have a 100% probability of concocting a [Peak] grade potion.
Peak Grade: On top of the potion's original best effect, additionally enhance the effect by 95%.
Title Effect 2: Transcend Self (Passive). If you successfully concoct an Eternal grade [Peak] potion, you will have a deeper understanding and feeling of the Alchemy you have mastered, allowing you to transcend the limit level of Alchemy.
Tip: Each time you successfully concoct an Eternal grade [Peak] potion, your Alchemy has a 6.85% probability of permanently increasing by Lv.1.
Current Alchemy Level: Lv.95 (This is the conventional maximum level of Alchemy).
Tip: This ability can at most raise Alchemy to Lv.100.
Introduction: Reaching the peak... creating the ultimate.
Selling Price: Cannot be sold.
...
The previous enhancement probability of [Peak Work] was: 100% probability of concocting a [Perfect] grade potion, 55% probability of concocting a [Miracle] grade potion, and 10% probability of concocting a [Peak] grade potion. Now it directly had a 100% probability of concocting a [Peak] grade potion.
Of course, this was related to Su Xiao's Alchemy level of Lv.95. In the conventional sense, this was the maximum level of Alchemy.
However, Su Xiao originally thought that [Peak Work] would need to reach [Limit Smelt · 5 Times] to achieve a 100% probability of concocting a [Peak Grade]. It now seemed that the [Limit Smelt · 5 Times] of this title would bring another breakthrough in potion grade.
Equipping the [Peak Work] title, Su Xiao began to concoct [Crimson Secret Medicine]. The main material for this secret medicine was [Soul Crystal · Complete], of which he had 360 left. For auxiliary materials, 320 Soul Coins could exchange for one portion's worth.
Su Xiao quickly immersed himself in the potion concoction. With the assistance of the [Peak Work] title, he was in a particularly wonderful state of concoction. After finishing one bottle, he felt unsatisfied, picked up the catalyzed materials, and started a second batch. The result was a smooth flow, leaving him even more unsatisfied.
Bottle after bottle was concocted. After concocting over a hundred bottles, Su Xiao's movements paused, ending this natural and smooth feeling of concoction.
He realized something. He was currently concocting Eternal grade potions, but he had already concocted over a hundred bottles. Why hadn't he triggered [Title Effect 2: Transcend Self (Passive)] of [Peak Work] to increase his Alchemy by 1 level?
Even if the 6.85% probability wasn't high, over a hundred attempts should have...
Su Xiao thought of his luck lower limit of -150,000. Not triggering a 6.85% probability over a hundred times seemed... reasonable.
Forcing himself to ignore this, Su Xiao continued concocting. After finishing a total of 360 bottles of [Crimson Secret Medicine], he only had 7465 Soul Coins left. The reason for such rapid spending was that Beini had previously purchased three pieces of Overlord-level equipment.
To trigger the bonus of [Overlord's Might], ordinary Overlord equipment wouldn't suffice; it needed top-tier Overlord equipment. However, top-tier Overlord equipment cost 500,000 to 800,000 Soul Coins per piece.
But this didn't stump Beini. Since suitable Overlord equipment wasn't available for purchase at the moment, her main goal was to activate [Overlord's Might] and ensure the purchase wouldn't result in a loss. So she bought [Remnant Star], [Mind Queen], and [Blood Fortress].
[Remnant Star] was a pendant. Its effect was to increase the wearer's Charm attribute judgment rank.
The line of bright red text below the equipment effect, "This bonus is invalid for you," said it all.
[Mind Queen] was a medal. Its effect was to convert 20% of Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence into the Charm attribute.
For Su Xiao, this was not an enhancement but a weakening. However, the bright red line "This bonus is invalid for you" below the equipment effect allowed Su Xiao to equip this item without any debuff.
[Blood Fortress] sounded like a macho man's equipment, but it actually increased Charm judgment priority and enhanced Charm/Mental attack intensity.
Yes, still "This bonus is invalid for you."
It wasn't that Beini did it on purpose. Top-tier Overlord equipment was hard to come by, and most Overlord equipment, once equipped, couldn't be traded. Even if forcibly sold, such Overlord equipment would be in a sealed state.
Beini had encountered a member of a high-level Apocalypse Paradise adventure group. A powerful Charm System user in that group had died. However, that Charm System user had set up a contract in advance: if they died in a battle not against Contractors, the equipment would be inherited by the adventure group leader.
Besides this, Beini bought the Charm three-piece set for easy resale later. Buying these three pieces for 1.4 million would at least not result in a loss. After the next world progression ended, selling them would likely yield a profit.
Su Xiao had enhanced himself to the maximum extent possible. He called Amu and went to a training room of several hundred square meters. This was the area his Exclusive Room could be expanded to after his promotion to Supreme. Don't underestimate this several hundred square meter space; he could test his moves here without restraint.
"Bubu."
"Woof."
Bubu Wang began assembling external kinetic armor for Amu. Half an hour later, Amu controlled a medium-sized kinetic armor, holding a thick and sharp war sword in his hand.
Wooom~
The kinetic device was fully driven. Amu swung the war sword down at Su Xiao.
'Perfect Block.'
Clang!
The resounding sound spread. The Ultimate Perfection effect of [Perfect Block] was successfully triggered. Opposite him, Amu drove the kinetic armor again for another heavy slash. Although this heavy slash had great power, its drawback was that it only had power, but it was enough.
Clang! Clang! Clang!...
One heavy slash after another was perfectly blocked. Each time, Su Xiao had to restrain his instinctive dodging movements. When he successfully performed the tenth Perfect Block, he felt his heart give a violent thump, and a large surge of hot blood rushed through his entire body.
This large surge of blood transformed into a kind of energy, filling his body, which needed to recover its breath after ten consecutive Perfect Blocks, with a vast power again.
It was the [Limit Counter] effect. The next slash could deal double the power. What Su Xiao wanted to test was...
'Extreme Blade · White Night.'
"[Extreme Blade · White Night (Supreme Level · Active/Passive): After activating this ability, the next melee slash is increased by 500%."
Su Xiao wanted to test if [Limit Counter] could boost [Extreme Blade · White Night].
With a bang,
In an instant, all of Su Xiao's bodily energy, and over 80% of his soul energy, were drained and poured into the long knife in his hand. The Dragon-Slaying Flash in his hand erupted with a blinding golden light. If he were facing an enemy, seeing this slash would only evoke one feeling: a spine-chilling despair.
Su Xiao raised the Dragon-Slaying Flash in his hand but didn't slash down. Baha immediately understood what was happening: "Run!"
Baha shouted angrily and immediately turned into a running ground chicken. Bubu Wang, Amu, and Beini also ran to the door one after another and fully closed it.
Su Xiao slashed down.
A moment later, the door to the training room was pushed open. Su Xiao walked out of the room, supporting himself on the doorframe with one hand to keep from falling.
He looked down at the [Wild Hunt Night] on his body, which had been reduced to strips. It seemed he would have to trouble Lide again. Considering he had just asked Lide to repair [Wild Hunt Night] not long ago, Lide would be in a relaxed state, so approaching him this time wouldn't be difficult.
The boost to [Extreme Blade · White Night] was successful. However, this move had to be used with caution. If it didn't kill the enemy, then he would be the one to die. Moreover, he had an even bolder idea, but with his current physique, he could only think about it. That combination, if tested, would definitely kill him.

Regarding Promotion to Supreme
Today, I found that many readers are not satisfied with the setting for promotion to Supreme. After researching it myself, I admit it wasn't direct enough. In my original conception, exceeding the standard for promotion to Supreme focused more on enhancing future potential, neglecting the immediate combat power after this promotion (the immediate combat power will be shown in the next few chapters).
Regarding the aspect of not being strong enough after promotion to Supreme, I added a patch in the second chapter of this volume. I wonder if the readers are satisfied with this patch. Of course, this patch is only preliminary; there will be gradual improvements later.
In my original conception, the explosive enhancement would begin after the Ancient Dragon Kingdom. Just after promotion to Supreme, it was about enhancing potential. But I am not a stubborn writer. Since many readers said the reading experience was not good, I will make modifications. This is also why I sometimes repeatedly modify published content. I will gradually increase the protagonist's power in this volume.
I'm very sorry for not providing the best reading experience. It seems I am still in the recovery phase. After a hiatus of over a year, it's impossible to say there is no impact. By the way, I have already modified the next chapter. Instead of waiting until tomorrow, I might as well release it today.
